Prostate Cancer - Protection ?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

This link between prostate cancer and meat and dairy products is due

in (large) part to the estrogens used to fatten up our beef as

quickly as possible for slaughter. If you enjoy red meat, and some

blood types really need it, choosing hormone free and open range

beef can certainly help.

 

Still, there are plenty of other estrogens responsibile for the

amazing increase of prostate (and breast) cancer.

 

Guys don't often think of using progesterone cream, but it's a great

way to protect yourself from unopposed estrogen, which is the

culprit behind prostate cancer.

 

Thanks for all the great info Butch,

Michelle

Men, if you want to help protect yourself from prostate cancer, lighten

up on red meat and dairy products. These foods significantly increase a

man's risk of getting the disease, which is the second most common cause

of death from cancer for American men.

 

That's the word from William B. Grant, a researcher with the Physicians

Committee for Responsible Medicine, who did a statistical analysis of

diets and prostate cancer rates in 32 countries.

 

Here's the good news: Some vegetables, especially onions, leeks, and

garlic, may help prevent prostate cancer when eaten daily. That's right,

an onion a day may keep prostate cancer away. Other foods that are

beneficial are cereals, grains, beans, and fruit. In addition, moderate

exposure to the sun's ultraviolet-B rays is helpful.

 

Using cancer mortality data from the World Health Organization and

dietary information from the Food and Agriculture Organization, Grant

determined that the prostate cancer death rate is five times higher in

the United States and in northern European countries where meat and

dairy products are a major part of the diet than it is in Hong Kong,

Iran, Japan, and Turkey, where diets consist primarily of vegetables,

grains, and cereals, beans, and fruits.

 

" It is alarming. My analysis clearly shows that in countries where meat

and dairy consumption are high, so are prostate cancer death rates, "

lead study author Grant told Health News Digest. " Countries with lower

consumption of animal-based products show reduced rates of prostate

cancer. " Previous research has shown that animal fat and proteins can be

high-risk factors for breast cancer and colon and rectal cancer.

 

The study findings were published in the European medical journal Urology.
